Liu Minghan, who had been carrying a camera and recording the video, said, "This also seems to be a silk painting."
Poor boss of a large real estate development company, he can only do the job of a cameraman here today.
As soon as he said he wanted to take the scroll, Mr. Liu asked his son to take out the camera. It is best to record the whole process of this kind of thing so that it can be preserved in the archives. If any rare treasure is found in the scroll, the video footage can also prove the origin of the rare treasure.
Old Liu turned his head and glared at his son, then said unhappily, "You don't need to say anything, just keep filming. If you miss any shots, you'll be punished by family rules!"
Liu Minghan shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
At this time, none of the old gentlemen cared about Liu Minghan's embarrassment. All their attention was focused on the silk scroll.
Is it a word? Or a picture?
No one knows at this time.
But what is certain is that the fact that Zhao Lingrang was willing to create such a low-level painting to hide this silk scroll is enough to prove that this silk scroll is definitely not an ordinary thing.
"Did I open it?" Even Mr. Guo's voice sounded a little nervous.
Several old men nodded, and then Mr. Guo carefully began to open the silk scroll.
As a result, as soon as a small part of the scroll was exposed, several old men took a deep breath and then turned into sculptures. Even Mr. Guo couldn't help but stand up straight, staring blankly at the exposed small part without moving.
As for Liu Minghan, who had been filming the scene nearby, he also looked dumbfounded.
No wonder these old gentlemen behaved like this, it was because the five words on the small part of the silk manuscript that had just been revealed were too horrifying.
"Along the River During the Qingming Festival", five inscriptions in Slender Gold script, and below this inscription there is a small double dragon seal...
After a long time, Old Man Xiao pounced on him like a madman. If Yang Jing had not been quick to hug the old man, the old man might have hit his head on the table.
The other old men also started to go crazy, shaking their heads or rubbing their eyes. Old Huang was even more like a headless fly, pacing around the room...
Yang Jing was the calmest person in the room. After all, he already knew what the silk scroll was.
Yang Jing held the still somewhat frantic Xiao Lao in one hand and patted his senior brother Liu Minghan with the other hand. After waking up his senior brother from his daze, he said loudly: "Four masters, can we calm down a little? We haven't confirmed whether this painting is real or not!"
Yang Jing said this in a very loud voice, and the whole hall was buzzing.
The old men gradually quieted down, with embarrassed expressions on their faces. Only Old Man Xiao turned his head and glared at Yang Jing and said, "Why don't you let me go? This is the Qingming Shanghe Tu! How can I stay calm?"
Well, the old man seemed really anxious. No wonder, a master who has been immersed in calligraphy and painting for a lifetime, now suddenly saw the inscription of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in Slender Gold Script, and the small double dragon seal below, he certainly couldn't keep calm.
Old Liu and Cai Yi came over and hugged Old Xiao, which made Old Xiao gradually calm down.
After the old men calmed down, Mr. Guo licked his lips and asked, "Old friends, do you think this inscription and this double dragon seal are real? My God, if they are real, we can all go down in history!"
Old Xiao pushed Old Guo aside in a bad mood, put on white gloves and reading glasses, picked up a magnifying glass, and said, "If you want to be famous in history, it's not you, it's Xiao Jing, okay? No matter from which aspect, this painting was found by Xiao Jing."
As he spoke, Mr. Xiao came forward with a magnifying glass, and several other old men also gathered around, forcing Liu Minghan to remind them, "Uncles, please leave some space for me, I have to take a picture."
Several old men simply ignored Liu Minghan's words. Yang Jing had no choice but to pull a chair over from the side, took the camera from Liu Minghan's hand, stood on the chair with the camera, and filmed the process of Mr. Xiao identifying the five-character inscription and the double dragon seal from a high vantage point.
The room was quiet, and no one dared to disturb Mr. Xiao at this time.
After all, what is placed in front of them is a painting that is very likely the authentic "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". At this time, even big names like Mr. Liu are like a child nervously waiting for results.
Although the full picture of this painting has not been seen yet, it was taken out from the scroll of "Jiangning Dajiang Tu" painted by Zhao Lingrang himself. And when Mr. Guo took the scroll just now, he had already said very confidently that the "Jiangning Dajiang Tu" had never been mounted twice or three times since it was mounted. It was completely original. In other words, the time alone was enough to prove that this scroll was hidden in the scroll during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Together with the five-character inscription in Slender Gold script "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and the small double dragon seal below, this is enough to prove that there is more than a 90% chance that this newly discovered silk scroll is the authentic "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".
Although the incomplete silk scroll of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" now treasured in the Palace Museum is now recognized as an authentic work of Zhang Zeduan, in fact, all these old experts understand that even if it is that incomplete silk scroll, no one can prove 100% that it is an authentic work of Zhang Zeduan.
After all, in the nine hundred years of history from the Northern Song Dynasty to the present, there are as many as thirty or forty versions of Along the River During the Qingming Festival. Although some versions have been confirmed to be forged by someone, the forgeries of many more versions have not yet been determined. In this case, who can be 100% sure that the incomplete scroll in the collection of the Palace Museum is the original work of Zhang Zeduan?
